The owner told KCRA 3 that she decided to shut down for good when she couldn’t find any employees or pay her bills. She tried to donate the books, but it also proved difficult.
His only option, therefore, was to leave him about 100,000 books in the dumpster, much to the delight of anyone looking for a new read.
“There is a lot to offer in this trash,” said Angel Takara, a book lover who poked around the pile.
Gloria McDaniel was also in the dumpster, but far from being in the dumpster herself.
For McDaniel, “books tell stories,” and diving in a dumpster is its own story.
“I’ve never been in a dumpster,” McDaniel said with a chuckle. “My husband would probably kill me.”
Dolly Jackson, who was also looking for a new read, mentioned a photo posted online where the trash can was filled to the brim with books. By Monday afternoon, most of those books were gone and people were able to get into the dumpster.
